Pros

I guess being able to see what's in the back. You can find some good stuff before the customers do (but you can't shop on shift), the pay is weekly, schedule accommodations are pretty good so a work life balance isn't too hard, you get a discount

Cons

Discount is like ten percent, and it's usually supposed to be 20% The first of the month is what I was told when I first got this job, but in reality, it's just whenever the higher ups feel like administering a twenty percent off weekend. Highlight the weeknd part! no pay raises fr they'll often lie and say that they're doing a survey in the area to see if they could pay us more.It's never gonna happen, and the one time I did get a raise it was like 40 cents. they mess up payroll a lot ( so often your shifts get cut). there are some employees that have been working here for like twenty plus years, and they're still making, like roughly twelve to thirteen dollars god forbade you're someone not from here, that doesn't speak English. They'll literally pay you like ten dollars an hour Managers don't have good communication They don't train you fr Not to mention, you have to clock out for your lunch so no paid lunch. The customers are plentiful and most are either entitled or chill, and you have to sell credit cards and you don't even get commission for it. So even if you do sell a credit card, you literally just get a shout out over the intercom. And they breathe down your neck about it. Not to mention the credit card is bad. corporate doesn't care about us, and every tjmaxx and marshall's is like this,

Pros

-flexible and accomodating hours - good partime job for college student - very neutral experience, but the fact that it wasn't terrible makes it a pro -10% employee discount

Cons

-lower pay than other retail places ($12 when I was there) - general cons that just come with retail (rude customers, boring tasks, etc.) - store is constantly being rearranged, and is also disorganized on purpose so customers have to search through/look at more things to find what they are looking for -CONSTANTLY having to push the TJ Maxx credit card and having managers literally walk by to make sure you are - can't wear t-shirts or any graphic tees including ones in the store (which always bothered me because if they can sell it I should be able to wear it)
